Donating Sick Leave

Requesting Sick Leave

An employee who has exhausted their accrued sick leave due to a catastrophic illness and would like to request shared sick leave donations from fellow employees should review the program description in the Administrative Guidelines for the Career Service, Chapter 3.70, then complete a shared sick leave request form and return it to the Human Resources Department.
